(My Free PR ) John McCain, sources say, would rather be characterized as Rambo instead of Rocky Balboa in this year's edition of Politicards.
Put aside the political posturing; there's a
new controversy rising up from the campaign trail: Is Senator John
McCain "Rambo" or is he "Rocky?"
Well, it seems, that question has already been answered by the current
edition of the 2008 Politicards, a 54-card poker deck of humorous
illustrations, each depicting a leading politician or pundit as a
popular character from an appropriate Hollywood film. In it, Senator
John McCain, ranked as a Jack of Hearts, is roasted as a geriatric
Rocky Balboa jogging his way up the Capitol steps. The line at the
bottom of the card reads, "My point is I'm pursuing something and
nobody looks too happy about it." Ouch.
The problem, according to sources close to the campaign, is this: The
Arizona Senator would much rather be Rambo, instead. When it comes to
the most famous of candidate "veterans", there seems to be some concern
about not showing McCain as Rambo. (With the possible movie quote,
"Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe.")
The McCain camp isn't about to give up. And in a world where life seems
to imitate art, Politicards creator Peter Green says he'll make him a
deal: If he comes out well after the primaries, John McCain will get
his wish. Peter has been creating the cards since the 1972
Nixon/McGovern election and claims he's never had so much to work from
as this year's cast and crew.
Says John Olsen, interviewed on the floor of the Iowa Caucus and a
prominent political memorabilia seller, "I've been selling these cards
since '96 and have never seen the interest generated like this deck
has. It doesn't surprise me that there is so much concern about how
each politician is depicted."
Olsen acknowledges that just about every politician since Nixon has had
to endure their less-than-flattering card depiction. So why the special
treatment for McCain?
"Why not?" says Green.
Indeed, the senator has been a long-standing fan of Politicards for
three elections. So with a little luck and provided he hasn't folded
around the time of the Republican National Convention, this Rocky might
just become a Rambo.
Politicards sells a quarter-million decks each political season. This
year's sales, according to Green, are ahead of schedule and the deck is
in its fifth printing.
